I always wonder in these threads if some people probably could get a girlfriend or whatever, but they prefer to wallow in self pity and act like martyrs because it's easier. Because real talk, that's how some folks are coming off here.

That's what she gets for being with a cold hearted snake. I mean, did she really think he thinks about her when he's out?

My two cents: First off, regarding confidence, I'd say it's really negligible. Not to say that being confident doesn't help, but being able to walk up to a stranger and flirt and ask for their number is just one way to do it. The key here is comfort; being able to be around someone without feeling pressured or anxious - and comfort comes much more easily and much more naturally than confidence does. Hell, comfort can help build confidence: If you have the confidence to ask a girl for their number and to even go on a date with them, but you lack the comfort to just be yourself around them, shoot the breeze and enjoy each other's company, then it's pretty much fruitless. Don't worry so much about confidence; just be comfortable and the confidence will come. Second: Based off personal experience, if you're having trouble with the confidence issue, try being friends first. Your first interaction with someone doesn't have to be a date at eight with a kiss at the end. Just hang with someone, learn their interests and enjoy their company. Immersion is a great way of building confidence because after a while, you just stop being afraid of speaking your mind and "will you go out with me" slips out easier - hell, sometimes you can get to know someone and realize that there was no future to have with them in the first place and that the attraction you had was shallow all along and that the deeper you got, the less you liked them. To add to that, sometimes you can also find those gems - men and women - in people you never even expected to find them. You find someone whom you share interests and desires with and an attraction organically grows where you had no intention of even planting anything. Believe me, I've been on many sides of this issue: While I'm more of a "no quotations" nice guy nowadays, I've been the "nice guy" who tries to nicety his way to getting someone attracted to him. Even nowadays, I've never been the kinda guy to just go up to a stranger, spark up a conversation and get a number then and there - I have, but it's not something I do often. But when you genuinely just hang around a person and get to know them and let them get to know you, as I've learned, a switch just flips to where you become comfortable with someone, as in relationship comfortable. Believe me - I'm traditionally shy, but there have been people who, in just weeks or months, I'm just completely and serenely comfortable around, whom I don't feel the need to put up an act around and who I can just have fun with and not restrain myself like I do about 90% of the time I do around just about everybody. That's my take, anyway. It's not about being a "bad boy," it's about comfort and being around people who make you comfortable. To quote the cornerman from Rocky III "Don't force it, it'll come. It just takes time." People are really misunderstanding this term. 'Nice guy' doesn't just mean a guy who is nice, it's a neologism referring to a segment of men - often also Men's Rights Activists - who are nice to women and are the shoulder to lean on when they complain about their asshole boyfriends, but only so that they can then attempt to sleep with that girl later when she is dumped by or dumps that 'bad boy' boyfriend. They consider their selling point to be 'I'm so much nicer than her boyfriend, why WOULDN'T she go out with me?' and showing a sense of entitlement over the fact that girls will choose people that are not them, even though they are 'nice.' They also tend to turn on these girls when they turn them down, because how dare that girl have the hots for the bad boy and not for this guy she thought was a friend who actually gives a shit about her? Well see, people like to generalize which is what that is From your definition. Most nice guys don't have ulterior motives, and if they do, they don't realize it. Everyone has ulterior motives: Good or bad, men or women, good or bad or indifferent. Everyone. The stereotypical "nice guys" (aka, the MRA's who use consciously or subconsciously use kindness as a way of getting their way) are just bad at follow through. People are really misunderstanding this term. 'Nice guy' doesn't just mean a guy who is nice, it's a neologism referring to a segment of men - often also Men's Rights Activists - who are nice to women and are the shoulder to lean on when they complain about their asshole boyfriends, but only so that they can then attempt to sleep with that girl later when she is dumped by or dumps that 'bad boy' boyfriend.

They also tend to turn on these girls when they turn them down, because how dare that girl have the hots for the bad boy and not for this guy she thought was a friend who actually gives a shit about her? Maybe. To this day I always wondered why women confide in men, even if they are friends, about their problems with their boyfriends. Men don't seem to be well suited for that role due to the innate jealousy and attraction that men (well straight men) find towards women. I learned to just not accept that role and told them to complain to their women friends. Going to my above point, most women voice complaints about their relationships to their friends of both sexes - which can be a problem if the people they're talking to harbor an attraction to them. I should also note that, in the defense of many people here, you don't have to be attracted to someone or even of the opposite sex (or same-sex in the case of same-sex attraction) to get to the point of "if you don't like them so much, then why don't you just leave?" People get tired of hearing of the exact same problem repeatedly, especially when that problem can be easily solved.
